SUPERSERVER 6027TR-H70QRF/H70FRF/H70RF USER'S MANUAL

1-3 Server Chassis Features

The following is a general outline of the main features of the SC827 server chassis.

System Power

Each SC827 chassis model includes a high-efﬁ ciency 80-plus Platinum certiﬁ ed

power supply, rated at 1620 Watts plus one redundant backup power supply.

In the unlikely event your power supply fails, replacement is simple and can be

accomplished without tools.

SAS/SATA Subsystem

The SC827 supports up to twelve (12) 3.5" hot-swap SAS/SATA drives in trays

(3 for each node). These drives are hot-swappable units and are connected to a

backplane that provides power and control.

Note: The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-

swap capability of the drives.

Front Control Panel

SC827HQ-R1620B chassis includes four front panels on the handles of the chassis

which control each of the systems. Each control panel on the SUPERSERVER

6027TR-H70QRF/H70FRF/H70RF provides you with system monitoring and control

for one server node. LEDs indicate system power, HDD activity, network activity,

system overheat and power supply failure. A main power button and a system reset

button are also included.

I/O Ports

The SC827 is an proprietary form factor chassis designed to be used in a 2U

rackmount conﬁ guration. The SC827 chassis provides a low-proﬁ le add-on card

slot, a COM port, a VGA port, two USB 2.0 ports , one IPMI Ethernet port and two

gigabit Ethernet ports per node.

Cooling System

The SC827 chassis accepts four system fans powered from either backpane

or the serverboards. If not powered from the backpane, the SC827HQ-R1620B

model chassis powers four fans from four motherboards, so that when one of the

motherboard drawers is removed, the other motherboards will continue running

all fans.

1-5

Chapter 1: Introduction

Air Shrouds

The SC827 chassis includes four plastic air shrouds that direct the airﬂ ow where

cooling is needed on each serverboard. Always use the air shroud included with

your chassis on each serverboard.

Mounting Rails

The SC827 includes a set of quick-release rails, and can be placed in a rack for

secure storage and use. To setup your rack, follow the step-by-step instructions

included in this manual.

1-4 Advanced Power Management

Intel® Intelligent Power Node Manager (NM)

The Intel® Intelligent Power Node Manager (IPNM) provides your system with

real-time thermal control and power management for maximum energy efﬁ ciency.

Although IPNM Speciﬁ cation Version 1.5 is supported by the BMC (Baseboard

Management Controller), your system must also have IPNM-compatible

Manageability Engine (ME) ﬁ rmware installed to use this feature.

Manageability Engine (ME)

The Manageability Engine, which is an ARC controller embedded in the IOH (I/O

Hub), provides Server Platform Services (SPS) to your system. The services

provided by SPS are different from those proveded by the ME on client platforms.

: System Notes

As a 2U Twin

2

conﬁ guration, the SuperServer 6027TR-H70QRF/H70FRF/H70RF is

a unique server system. With four system boards incorporated into a single chassis

acting as four separate nodes, there are several points you should keep in mind.

Nodes

Each of the four serverboards act as a separate node in the system. As independant

nodes, each may be powered off and on without affecting the others. In addition,

each node is a hot-swappable unit that may be removed from the rear of the chassis.

The nodes are connected to the server backplane by means of an adapter card.

Note: A guide pin is located between the upper and lower nodes on the inner chassis

wall. This guide pin also acts as a “stop” when a node is fully installed. If too much

force is used when inserting a node this pin may break off. Take care to slowly slide

a node in until you hear the “click” of the locking tab seating itself.

System Power

Dual 1620 Watt power supplies are used to provide the power for all four

serverboards. Each serverboard however, can be shut down independently of the

other with the power button on its own control panel.

SAS/SATA Backplane/Drives

As a system, the SuperServer 6027TR-H70QRF/H70FRF/H70RF supports the use

of twelve SAS/SATA drives. A single SAS/SATA backplane works to apply system-

based control for power and fan speed functions, yet at the same time logically

connects a set of three SAS/SATA drives to each serverboard. Consequently, RAID

setup is limited to a three-drive scheme (RAID cannot be spread across all twelve

drives). See the Drive Bay Installation/Removal section in Chapter 6 for the logical

hard drive and node conﬁ guration.

order given should enable you to have the system operational within a minimum

amount of time. This quick setup assumes that your system has come to you with the

processors and memory preinstalled. If your system is not already fully integrated

with a serverboard, processors, system memory etc., please turn to the chapter or

section noted in each step for details on installing speciﬁ c components.

2-2 Unpacking the System

You should inspect the box the SuperServer 6027TR-H70QRF/H70FRF/H70RF was

shipped in and note if it was damaged in any way. If the server itself shows damage

you should ﬁ le a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.

Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the SuperServer

6027TR-H70QRF/H70FRF/H70RF. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area

that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic

ﬁ elds are generated. You will also need it placed near a grounded power outlet.

Read the Rack and Server Precautions in the next section.

2-3 Preparing for Setup

The box the SuperServer 6027TR-H70QRF/H70FRF/H70RF was shipped in should

include two sets of rail assemblies, two rail mounting brackets and the mounting

screws you will need to install the system into the rack. Follow the steps in the

order given to complete the installation process in a minimum amount of time.

2-4 Cautions!

Choosing a Setup Location

• Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front door

completely (~25 inches) and approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back

of the rack to allow for sufﬁ cient airﬂ ow and ease in servicing.

• This product is for installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated

equipment rooms, service closets and the like).

• This product is not suitable for use with visual display work place devices

acccording to §2 of the German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display Units.

Rack Precautions

• Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to

the ﬂ oor with the full weight of the rack resting on them.

• In single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack. In multiple

rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.

• Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the

rack.

• You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more

simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.

Server Precautions

• Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Chapter 4.

• Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the

rails.

• Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack ﬁ rst, and then

work up.

• Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from

power surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a

power failure.

• Allow any hot plug drives and power supply modules to cool before touching

them.

• Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers

closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.
